Review: Balanced Power Technology BPT 2.5 AC filter

Category: Accessories

Acquired this unit a few weeks ago, and let me simply say it has truly been the icing on the cake in getting my system dialed in properly. Noise floor significantly lowered; bass tighter; fuller; AND more rythmic. Additional improvements in clarity; and mids just became more fully flushed out. All of this with NO downsides.

Caveat- I am in a condo and do not have the luxury of dedicated lines. BPT offers several upgrades- Bybees; special internal wiring; an excellent Litz L9 PC upgraded PC for the unit- I went for all of these and didn't look back. Honestly, I don't 'gush' about something unless I think it is truly phenomenal. For once, I agree with the excellent reviews on this piece- not that that matters in this case, but it's a validation that I concur with. I feel BPT really has something here...

Sutts,
Have you brought the BPT over to Israel's to get his input? Just curious?

I also wonder how much better the 3.5 would be............

Crazy- yes- I had a Tice IIIC HP for a few years- no comparison

Dolphin- Izzy is too skeptical with power conditioning- even though I know it works, he's too tough a convert! Plus, it would be too much of a hassle to take ti out of the system at this point.

Hi Sutts, always good to hear another BPT owner`s reactions that echo my own, congratulations. I had my BP2.5 fully modded also with the exception of Dynamicaps instead of Auricaps, my choice and an additional set of Bybees in a Bolder IEC adapter off the L-9 PC. I also lined the interior casing with Stillpoints ERS and have my unit setting on a Mapleshade maple butcher board w/surefeet/isoblocks. Chris Hoff`s affordable conditioner transformed my home theater system from a sports haven to a multichannel musical fantasy. BPT`s BP2.5 was also responsible for my ever expanding credit debt! :D Supporting cast in my DEAD-QUIET power conditioning include a dedicated circuit with a PS PowerPort & 21 system Bybee`s. My gear includes Motorola DSR922 4DTV satellite receiver plus HDD-100 HD decoder; Pansat 300a digital satellite receiver (free to air); 2 Butler 3150 tube hybrid amps; Sunfire Theater Grand 3 processor; Velodyne CT-100 sub; "soon to include" 4 Odyssey Audio Lorelei loudspeakers w/ 2 Nemisis center speakers; Ridge Street Audio`s MSE gen2 IC`s, Bybee digital, speaker cabling. I`d pesonally like to state that I NEVER would have ventured into high end components had I not gotten my BP2.5 from A`gon`s Underwoodwally. He be da’man in my book! Regards, Robin
